Doors to the Parish Hall of the United Church of Christ in Abington, 10 Bedford St., Route 18, will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, for the annual Fall Fiesta. There is no admission fee.

This is an old-fashioned church fair at its best with hand-made items for the home, holidays or gift giving. Foods for every appetite will be available and include New England chowder at the snack bar, and assorted cheeses, fudge and home-baked desserts will be found in the bakery. For bargain hunters, there will be a room full of white elephants or attic treasures, a used-jewelry table, and a slightly used books table with many popular titles in hard cover and paperback. A favorite at the Fiesta is the table of the Quinn family. The family spends the time between Fiestas making hand-made quilts, afghans, and crossed-stitched items that are sold at bargain prices to benefit outreach projects of the church.

One of the most popular events at the Fiesta is the silent auction. Bids may be placed on numerous items such as antiques, gift baskets, gift certificates and new or nearly new items of all descriptions. This is another great place to find bargains.

On Nov. 2, the annual Turkey Supper will be served at the church in the same Parish Hall. Tickets for the supper will be available or reservations may be made with Jane at the Used Jewelry Table.
